Reviews

[Andrea Flory · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is good for grades k-2. I liked the first part of the book and second part was ok but I'm not sure how children would like it. Students could compare and contrast the real Cinderella story to this Cinderella. The genre is traditional literature.
